This is the first of hopefully many blogs from your Boogaloo brothers.

In May 2004 in a basement underneath Nottingham's Lace Market, Basement Boogaloo was born. Bar None was the venue, and with a very limited budget but a great deal of enthusiasm the party slowly built into a fun monthly session. Relying on friends and contacts to be guest DJ's, the tiny basement bar hosted the likes of Schmoov!, Jigsawmusic and Bugged Out's Rob Bright.

We'll be digging out the posters, flyers, photos and stories from the parties and cataloging them on this blog. We'll also be compiling lists of tunes from the Bar None era along with links to mixes that were originally handed out to friends at the parties. If anyone has anything they'd like to contribute to the blog then get in contact and we'll make sure that we add it.
